Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262 [Doctor Heart]

In late April 190 AD.

The sweet potato harvest in Jiaozhou is coming to an end, but the people in Jiaozhou have not been idle, but have entered an unprecedented busy period of farming.

In areas where sweet potatoes can continue to be planted, people are excited to plant them first.As for the seedlings, most of them are still the sweet potato fields provided by the system.

Lu Bu asked how long the land would last, and Beast said it could last for three years. After three years, the superiority of the species would disappear, and by then it would be no different from ordinary ones.

In this era of unadvanced fertilizers, without the seedlings provided by the system, the yield will definitely be greatly affected.

Lu Bu also asked Beast Beast if the system could still provide sweet potato farming.As a result, the system can provide it, but it requires a lot of points to redeem.

There is no permanent free lunch in the world, anyway, it can be used for two years, Lu Bu is not in a hurry.

Now Lu Bu has ordered Duanmuci to temporarily suspend the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the three counties.The unharvested sweet potato fields are used to feed pigs and cattle.

By the way, Duanmuci reported to Lu Bu that the first batch of porcupine pigs in his pig farm were about to be slaughtered. These porcupine pigs were all strong, and they all weighed more than a hundred catties.

In addition to planting sweet potatoes, the people of Jiaozhou were also busy with the two-season rice and corn promoted by Lu Bu.

Because the matter of sweet potatoes is ahead, Lu Bu's promotion of two-season rice and corn is also very smooth. Except for the hesitation of the big families and gentry, the common people are very supportive.

Here, although the corn and two-season rice provided by Lu Bu are not expensive, they are about twice as expensive as the rice varieties at that time.

Moreover, in order to promote planting, Lu Bu adopted the method of half selling and half giving away seeds to those who could not afford the seeds.

This will inevitably make those big families and noble gentry unhappy and conflicted.

While the people of Jiaozhou and the General's Mansion were busy promoting two-season rice and corn, Hua Tuo, Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing and other doctors set off from Xiemuguan and Supuguan respectively to Lingling County and Guiyang County.

Outside Xiemu Pass in Cangwu County, a team of more than 5000 people entered Lingling County.

Hundreds of them were dozens of doctors led by Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing, as well as ordinary people who participated in the assistance.

There are 5000 people and [-] troops led by Song Xian, who are responsible for guarding security.

Hao Meng and Guo Jia led [-] elite soldiers to station outside Xiemu Pass, ready to enter Lingling County at any time.

As for the Weipuguan side, Hua Tuo led the team of doctors, and Gao Shun led 5000 guards including the trapped camp.

Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai stationed [-] elite troops outside the Suipu Pass.

……

"These are elite troops at first glance. I'm afraid they are not as simple as protecting us?" He Yong followed this time, looking at the mighty army around him, he wondered in his heart.

As for Huang Zhong and Song Wu, they also wanted to stay in Fanyu City to take care of Huang Xu. Huang Xu is currently taking care of his body, and Hua Tuo will operate on him when the time comes.

"We are doctors, and we only care about saving lives and healing the wounded. Look, there are graves everywhere. The situation of sadness here is much more serious than we imagined. Saving lives comes first."

Looking at the miserable scene around him, Zhang Bozu groaned in his heart.

It has been more than ten miles along the way, and what I hear and see is shocking and frightening.

"Brother Boqiu, maybe it would be a good thing for the people here to be ruled by the General. At least, they won't continue to suffer from hunger and sadness."

Seeing that the people in Jiaozhou have lived a stable life without starvation, and seeing the people who died of illness and starvation here, and the graves that can be seen everywhere, Zhang Zhongjing had such a strange idea.

"That's the reason, but I always feel that there is a kind of conspiracy in it. Lu Bu is not a person who settles down in Jiaozhou. He must covet the Central Plains. This is their chance..."

"Stop, Boqiu, you are no longer an official of the court, why worry about it. Besides, the current big man is probably hopeless."

He Yong was interrupted by Zhang Bozu's words before he finished speaking.

For Zhang Bozu's words, He Yong was speechless and had to remain silent.

"Master, there are some people ahead, let's go and have a look." Zhang Zhongjing noticed several men and women on the side of the road ahead.

Few people were found along the way, and those who were able to go south had already reached the border, and have now been resettled.

The few men and women in front saw such a large team, and most of them were wearing armor, which made them afraid to stand by the roadside and dare not move rashly.

"Several, where are you going?" Zhang Bozu and others came to them and asked.

Those men and women looked at these people in front of them stupidly, especially the soldiers led by Song Xian, who were so frightened that they dared not speak easily.

"Mr. Zhang asked you something, answer it quickly!" Song Xian stared with a scary look.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I say, I say." One of the middle-aged men begged for mercy.

"Why don't you hurry up?" Song Xian shouted.

At this time, Zhang Bozu interjected: "General Song, don't worry, let them speak slowly."

Song Xian's sudden surprise, how can he make people talk properly.

Then Zhang Bozu said to them kindly: "Don't be afraid, we are healers, and we don't have any malicious intentions when we come here to heal those who are sad."

"Sad?"

When the men and women heard these two words, their faces turned even paler, and they couldn't help but took a few steps back.

Sadness is a demon to them, a demon that can take their lives in an instant.

"We are really healers, and we are here to heal the sadness. Please tell us the situation here, and we will also check if you are suffering from the sadness..."

Zhang Bozu talked a lot, which made these people feel at ease.

They were planning to go to Jiaozhou for refuge, although I heard that many people disappeared inexplicably after arriving at the border.

But now the sadness is so terrifying, the road north to the Central Plains is closed to the north, and their only way to survive is to go south to Jingzhou.

They also told Zhang Bozu and others that one-third of the people here have died of illness due to the sadness in Lingling County, and the bandits took the opportunity to search for food everywhere, burn, kill and loot, and the dead were even worse!
"It's a blessing that you didn't get sad! Don't worry, go directly to Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou will accommodate you, at least you won't starve to death."

After checking several people, Zhang Zhongjing said.

They didn't have to be sad, and Song Xian would not stop them from going to Jiaozhou, not to mention that Lu Bu had ordered them first, Jiaozhou needed people, and the more the better.

If there are too many people, there will be enough manpower for building official roads, building dams, building colleges, etc.

"According to what they said, almost all the people in Shi'an County are now gathering in Shi'an City to survive."

"The sadness there is very serious, we need to rush there as soon as possible." Zhang Bozu was worried.

He Yong worried: "Shi'an City is in the hands of bandits now, they will give it to you without caring about the life and death of the people, and they may prevent us from practicing medicine and treating diseases. I'm afraid there will be conflicts at that time."

This was obviously meant for Song Xian to hear, and Song Xian said: "Just treat the disease and save the patient, and leave the rest to me!"
